Dataset for "Automated discovery of algorithms for molecular electronic structure calculations using physics-informed program synthesis"
Listed in figshare
We demonstrate a physics-informed program synthesis (PIPS) approach that can be used to identify entirely-new algorithms that approximate the results of single-reference electronic structure approaches like Hartree-Fock (HF) and density-functional theory (DFT) - but without any self-consistent field iterations at all.
Description
Our PIPS strategy exploits the fact that the eigenvectors of the Fock matrix F (or Kohn-Sham matrix K) are the same as the eigenvectors of a broad class of matrix functions, f(F).
As a result, PIPS can be used to seek matrices M that yield the same molecular orbital coefficients as converged HF or DFT calculations. We demonstrate this approach by generating new algorithms that accurately predict total energies for a series of heterodiatomic molecules (LiCl, LiF, NaCl, NaF) and C1-C4 hydrocarbons; further simulations of C8-C20 alkane species demonstrate further transferability and efficiency of the resulting algorithms.

We obtain novel algorithms that can reproduce HF or DFT energies to within 0.1 kcal/mol/atom while requiring only a single matrix-diagonalization operation, rather than an iterative self-consistent field convergence. The approach demonstrated here could be similarly applied to more complex wavefunction ansatze, opening an interesting optimization-based pathway to identifying accurate yet efficient algorithms for molecular quantum chemistry.<br><br>Supporting data for "Automated discovery of algorithms for molecular electronic structure calculations using physics-informed program synthesis”, including calculation data for diatomic molecules and alkane molecules.
Both raw (unprocessed) and final (compiled) datasets are included.
